ActiveSG, Sport Singapore’s mass participation arm, was launched in 2014 as a national movement to enable Singaporeans to live better through sport. Today, ActiveSG holds a 2.5 million strong membership base, offering members access to a variety of affordable, innovative, and inclusive sport and recreation opportunities across its sport centres, as well as Dual-Use Scheme (DUS) facilities with schools, island wide.
As part of its 10th Anniversary celebrations, ActiveSG kick off the festivities with a Team Nila Sports Day on 20 April, which included sport tryouts, telematches and a mass fitness dance.
Held at five ActiveSG locations on Saturday, 27 April, Singaporeans were treat to Sport Festivals which included ActiveSG’s newest facility, Bukit Canberra Sport Centre, and the recently rejuvenated Delta Sport Centre. Each of the five offered a unique lineup of activities, from esports cycling to one of ActiveSG’s largest aquatic fitness parties to date. There was also free access to gyms and pools at the five sport centres on that day.
“When ActiveSG was launched ten years ago as a national movement, we set out to enable people from all walks of life to live better through sport. Not only has the number of our facilities grown, but the breadth of our offerings has also expanded. Today, ActiveSG staff and Team Nila volunteers play an integral role in encouraging lifelong enjoyment of sport and exercise – from creating pathways for children and youths, to providing a variety of inclusive programmes for seniors and persons with disabilities,” shared Tan Hock Leong, Chief of ActiveSG.
“We are truly appreciative of the support that ActiveSG has received over the years, and invite everyone to celebrate with us from this April onwards. We have put together a series of celebratory offers to commemorate this significant 10th Anniversary milestone that we have achieved together. Thank you for being part of this journey. We are confident that your strong support will inspire us to serve you better, and hope that you will continue to enjoy your active lifestyle with us.”
Throughout April 27th, ActiveSG succeeded in entering the Singapore Book of Records with members of the public and members taking part in the longest multisite mass workout relay!
